Clearlake woman allegedly kicked out window of police vehicle

CLEARLAKE -- A woman allegedly kicked one of the rear windows out of the window frame of a Clearlake Police car after she was arrested Tuesday night.

At about 7:30 p.m. Clearlake Police Department (CPD) officers responded to a home in the 3,000 block of 10th Street to find and arrest Lloyd Lewis of Clearlake, according to CPD Sgt. Tim Hobbs.

Lewis, 22, was identified as the suspect in a stolen vehicle case regarding a 1966 Ford Mustang that was reported stolen on Monday.

Upon arrival, CPD Officer Elvis Cook and his K-9 partner Max went to the back of the home, Hobbs stated. Meanwhile, Hobbs spoke with Lewis' girlfriend, Candace Conzet, 25, of Clearlake, in front.

Conzet reportedly said Lewis left walking about 15 minutes earlier, Hobbs stated. She agreed to walk Hobbs through the home. He allegedly saw Lewis through a window walking toward the back.

Hobbs stated he yelled for Lewis to stop, but he proceeded to go outside.

Cook also reportedly yelled for Lewis to stop and threatened to deploy Max, Hobbs stated. Lewis allegedly did not stop, and Max caught Lewis a short distance away from the home.

While Cook secured Max and Hobbs placed Lewis in handcuffs, Conzet was allegedly yelling and screaming at the officers, Hobbs stated. She then allegedly tried to push Cook away from Lewis several times.

After Lewis was placed into handcuffs, Conzet allegedly started running away and ran out to the street. Conzet was caught, arrested and charged with resisting arrest, battery on a peace officer and placed into the rear seat of a patrol vehicle, Hobbs stated.

Once in the vehicle, Conzet allegedly kicked one of the rear windows out of the window frame, Hobbs stated. Conzet was additionally charged with vandalism.

Lewis was charged with vehicle theft, possession of stolen property and resisting arrest. He was briefly treated by medical personnel from the Lake County Fire Protection District at the scene before being transported to St. Helena Hospital, Clear Lake for further treatment, Hobbs stated.

After Lewis was medically cleared for incarceration, both he and Conzet were transported to the Lake County Hill Road Correctional Facility.
